Heavy ion mass loading of the geomagnetic field near the plasmapause and ULF wave implications
Bibliographic record
Abstract
The structure of the density discontinuity across the plasmapause is often based on electron and H + density profiles with the contribution of heavy ions (He + , O + etc) neglected. Electron and ion density measurements in this region may differ significantly due to the presence of heavy ions and it is important for the intercomparison of different datasets to understand these differences. Dynamics Explorer (DE‐1) magnetic field and plasma composition data have been used to compare heavy ion responses across the plasmapause and to calculate the mass loaded ion density (ρ) profiles. To illustrate this we investigate mass loading through radial profile variations in the Alfven velocity (V A ). Results show that the gradient in ρ and V A across the plasmapause is modified when mass loading due to multiple heavy ion species is included, particularly in the presence of the O + torus. Application to ultra‐low frequency (ULF) field line resonance is used as an example where the contribution from heavy ions smoothes out the expected ULF wave resonant frequency discontinuity at the plasmapause.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
